Plan
Ahead & Prepare – Get the most out of Family Fun Day

\n

\n

Plan to arrive mid-morning to mid-afternoon (10am t
o about 2pm) to ensure you have enough time to check-in\, do the activitie
s you want\, and have time to wander Base Camp to your heart’s content. Y
ou may not check in until 9:30\, and activities won’t start until 10.

\n

Pack water bottles\, sunscreen\, comforta
ble socks and closed-toed athletic shoes for Zip Line & Hiking\, and the C
limbing Wall. Thinking of venturing into the pond for a turn in a canoe o
r a paddleboard? Pack water shoes and clothes that can get wet–our Bath H
ouse is a great place to change and dry off before and after!

\n

For those of you who may be thinking of bringing
your entire scout pack\, a full softball team\, or any other large group:
You’re more than welcome\, but please remember that anyone under 18 must b
e accompanied by their legal guardian in order to participate in activitie
s. We also recommend that you split up and enjoy the day in groups of les
s than 8 — this will help us keep a good flow at each activity.

Be part of
what happens when you mix bands like Crowded Streets\, Dirty Grass Players
\, Psylo Joe\, and Black Mountain Revival with adventure activities lead b
y funny\, good-looking (and some good\, funny-looking) outdoor guides. We’
re a staff that thrives on making every one of our guests a part of the fa
mily\, so you can bet this will be a week-end of positive experiences you’
ll never forget. Proceeds go to the Adventure Camp fund\, a camper-ship pr
ogram for kids who show dedication to the principles at the heart of WA’s
summer camp expeditions.

Nestled in the highlands of southwes
t Virginia on 500 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Roanoke sits the
adventure retreat Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing (WAEL)\, the base
camp for this awesome “intro to ultra” endurance trail run. You have the c
hoice of a 3-hour or 6-hour trail run\, solo or with a team of 2\, 3\, or
4 people\, on this beautiful\, spectator-friendly 4-mile loop with a mix o
f single\, double track\, and pavement. And because WAEL is first and fore
most a camp\, there will be plenty of adventure pre- and post-race and for
spectators\, too! See “Locations” below for Lodging information.

Is it time for som
ething new? Try having some fun in the woods in an adventure race! Because
you gotta start somewhere we’ve created the Tenderfoot Adventure Race—an
event for beginners and families to mountain bike\, trek\, strategize\, na
vigate\, perform challenges\, and paddle by following a map with marked ch
eckpoints. Basically\, it’s an all-terrain scavenger hunt with a handsome
reward…great prizes\, muddy legs\, a sweaty body\, and proud smiles like y
ou may not have seen in a while.

\n

This AR will bring good old-fashi
oned fun back! You’ll be staying on the trails within Wilderness Adventure
at Eagle Landing (WAEL)\, exploring their camp through hardwood trees\, s
teep terrain\, 1.5 hours from DC and about 35 miles from Roanoke. Once you
and your team have found as many checkpoints as you can in the allotted t
ime\, join us for delicious post-race food and the awards ceremony.

\n<
p>The morning of the race\, we’ll give you a map with checkpoints and a li
st of “Rules of Travel.” This gives you clues to checkpoints and tells you
how you’ll get to them–by trekking\, paddling\, or mountain biking. Teams
will have 3 hours to find as many checkpoints as possible. The highest po
int accumulation in the shortest amount of time will determine ranking. On
ce the teams have found all of the required checkpoints\, they sprint back
to cross the finish line.\nWe offer two “types” of Tenderfoot categ
ories: Family and Adventure Class. The family team (with 2- or 3-person te
ams) must have at least one member younger than age 16 and participates in
a shorter\, easier version of the Adventure Class course. (It’s still an
achievement for teams but not meltdown inducing.) The Adventure Class (sol
oist or 2- or 3-person teams) offers a longer\, more challenging course wi
th a lot of optional opportunities to really have an adventure and hone th
ose navigation and trail skills. Families will have 3 hours and Adventure
Class participants will have 4 hours to complete the race. (Note: We have
found that if the youngest team member is 13 or older\, Adventure Class is
a better choice\, offering more of a challenge.)\n
